Paa

The title implicitly means that the movie is about the relationship between a father and kid.
This time real life father n son Amitabh n Abishek play the roles but Amitabh plays the role of son for father Abishek. Abishek n vidhya balan have affair during their studies in Oxford University. Due to Abishek’s involvement in politics he could not marry her. They depart and she gives birth to Auro who is affected by progeria- aging at young age. At the age of 12 he looks like 60yr old. He wins award in school from Amol Arte (Abhishek). Amol is inspired by Auro(Amitabh) and their relationship continues. Later Vidhya reveals that Amol is his father and what happens when Vidhya meets Amol is the rest of the movie.
Director Balki has narrated the story very carefully for the challenging character of Auro। So many scenes touch our hearts when Vidhya replies to a lady who enquires about her son ‘this is a rare disorder and I am so lucky to have him’. His school mates are fond of him and they care about him without actually showing the melodrama of hardships- a very positive approach. This is such a simple movie and director has trusted only the story and he visualizes through extra ordinary performing actors including the school children. The expressions of Abishek are so natural especially when he comes to know that Auro is his own son. Vidhya is cute looking and her love n care for her son adds extra beauty to her character.
Actors come around with simple costumes, more over a white pajama for Abishek. Isai gnani Illayaraja has taken his old composition to hindi. It is awesome too to listen to the hindi version that sounds like latest songs. He has scored the background music that soothes us. PC.Sriram’s cinematography shows the movie so fresh and kudos to him and for Amitabh ’s incredible make up. I felt that the length of scenes involving politics could have been reduced. Otherwise this wonderful movie can be watched with maa, paa, kaa, naa...
